Viscount Medardo is bisected by a Turkish cannonball on the plains of Bohemia; Baron Cosimo, at the age of twelve, retires to the trees for the rest of his days; Charlemagne''s knight, Agiluf, is an empty suit of armour. These three vivid images are the points of departure for Calvino''s classic triptych of moral tales, now published in one volume and all displaying the exuberant talent of a master storyteller.''The most magically ingenious of the contemporary Italian novelists'' The Times

Italo Calvino's enchanting stories about the evolution of the universe, with characters that are fashioned from mathematical formulae and cellular structures, The Complete Cosmicomics is translated by Martin McLaughlin, Tim Parks and William Weaver in Penguin Modern Classics.'Naturally, we were all there, - dld Qfwfq said, - where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time, packed in there like sardines?' The Cosmicomics tell the story of the history of the universe, from the big bang, through millennia and across galaxies. It is witnessed through the eyes of 'cosmic know-it-all' Qfwfq, an exuberant, chameleon-like figure, who takes the shape of a dinosaur, a mollusc, a steamer captain and a moon milk gatherer, among others. This is the first complete edition in English of Italo Calvino's funny, whimsical and delightful stories, which blend scientific fact, flights of fancy, parody and wordplay to show the strangeness and the wonders of the world.

Palomar je poslední větší próza Itala Calvina a i zde se autor rozhodl pro originální experiment. Kapitoly této knihy bychom mohli vnímat jako básně v próze, ale spíše je lze označit za křížence románu nebo básně s esejem. V Calvinově díle má jejich titulní protagonista, pan Palomar, četné předchůdce - rozmanité komentátory a spekulativní talenty. Ti všichni jsou, stejně jako on, velkými pozorovateli světa, protože pozorování věcí je podle Calvina naším základním úkolem. Pan Palomar však chce svět nejen uvidět a pochopit, ale také popsat a vyjádřit: chce jej proměnit v slova. Lze se ale světa zmocnit autentickým, avšak subjektivním pohledem? Spočívá pravda o světě v bezprostřednosti okamžiku? A jak uchopit svět "nepsaný"? Sám Calvino charakterizoval tuto svou knihu následovně: "Jistý muž se vydá na cestu, aby krok za krokem dosáhl moudrosti. Dosud nedorazil k cíli."

Pin is a bawdy, adolescent cobbler''s assistant, both arrogant and insecure who - while the Second World War rages - sings songs and tells jokes to endear himself to the grown-ups of his town - particularly jokes about his sister, who they all know as the town''s ''mattress''. Among those his sister sleeps with is a German sailor, and Pin dares to steal his pistol, hiding it among the spiders'' nests in an act of rebellion that entangles him in the adults'' war.Italo Calvino, one of Italy''s finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories.

Set in Italy in the summer of 1940, this trio of stories explores the relationships between the different generations caught up in the war as well as Calvino''s own experiences as a teenager. In the title story, ''Into the War'', we are given an insight into what life was really like for those too young to be conscripted into Mussolini''s army, while in ''The Avanguardisti in Menton'', Calvino and his friends take a revealingly anti-climactic trip to the garrisoned French town of Menton, the sole Italian conquest of the early months of the conflict. The final story, ''UNPA Nights'', is a touching, comic tale of friendship in a blackout, where the narrator''s imagination wanders as he roams through the seedier parts of the darkened town instead of guarding the school buildings. Into the War is Calvino at his autobiographical best, combining brilliantly recollected memory with compelling wit and perfect prose.

"The quirkiness and the grace of the writing, the originality of the imagination at work, the incandescence of vision, make this collection well worth reading." —Margaret AtwoodA dazzling early story collection from Italo Calvino about love and the difficulty of communicationIn Difficult Loves, Italy’s master storyteller weaves tales in which cherished deceptions and illusions of love—including self-love—are swept away in magical instants of recognition. A soldier is reduced to quivering fear by the presence of a full-figured woman in his train compartment; a young clerk leaves a lady’s bed at dawn; a young woman is isolated from bathers on a beach by the loss of her bikini bottom. Each of them discovers hidden truths beneath the surface of everyday life.

Ve slavné knize Itala Calvina Neviditelná města vypráví Marco Polo na dvoře Kublaj chána postupně o městech, nazvaných exotickými ženskými jmény; vypráví o místech, která navštívil, i těch imaginárních, která nejsou na žádné mapě. Přesně odměřenými slovy popisuje krajiny a města, jejichž znaky a tvary, věže, mosty, domy, ulice jsou nám povědomé, jako by zhmotňovaly naše zkušenosti, poznatky a sny. V Markově podání jsou všechna města variantou téhož modelu - jeho rodných Benátek. Jejich podoba je neomezená, může mít tolik odlišných tváří, kolik jich má sám život ve svém trvání, zániku i věčné obnově. Calvino rozkládá představu prapůvodního města na jedenáct motivů, které navzájem kombinuje a začleňuje do komplexní struktury, jež má odrážet půdorys labyrintu současného světa.

These early short stories brim with the beauty of the Italian countryside and seaside, telling tales both sumptuous and unnerving.Calvino''s war-torn Italy is vivid, intense, almost hyper-real. A trio of greedy burglars rob a pastry shop, a boy offers a girl presents of toads and insects from the garden, a wealthy family invites a rustic goatherd to lunch, only to mock him. In every story he reveals the hidden meaning beneath the surface of everyday life, and the ludicrousness of war.Some stories from Last Comes the Raven have been previously available in the collection Adam, One Afternoon.

Tematicky i stylisticky různorodé povídky souboru Nesnadné idyly, jenž v českém překladu vychází poprvé, spojuje soustředěná vnímavost ke všemu, čím člověk o sobě vypovídá a čím věci vypovídají o člověku. Úvodní texty jsou vzpomínkami na krajinu dětství, na Ligurii - magický prostor mezi mořem a skalami. Zároveň jsou nejzřetelnějším dokladem lyrického základu calvinovského "realismu", jedinečného daru básnického vidění, schopnosti předávat slovem neobyčejně přesné, čisté a emocionálně působivé obrazy. Další povídky evokují zkušenost odboje, války a násilí a bývají charakterizovány jako vyprávění s prvky napětí a hrůzy. Jiné čerpají z poválečného chaosu a zachycují obyčejné hrdiny s jejich primitivními touhami. Řada textů si pohrává s pohádkovou topikou a zvláštní blok pak představují povídky o prosťáčku Marcovaldovi, ve kterých je zobrazen fenomén moderního velkoměsta. Nesnadné idyly dokazují, že Italo Calvino je i v rámci maupassantovsko-čechovovské povídkové tradice zcela výjimečným autorem.

Povídky z venkovského prostředí Ligurie, ve kterých je tematizován poválečný rozklad tradičních hodnot a společenství, jsou doplněny prózami, v nichž se autor vrátil do let svého dospívání. Vzpomíná na klíčové okamžiky, jež podmínily jeho příští životní volby: na vyhlášení války, brutální anexi francouzského Mentonu a na první zkušenost s válečným chaosem. Přestože mnohdy nese líčení rozchodu se starým světem příznak trpkosti a rozčarování, nepostrádají jeho povídky ani komický ráz a znovu jen potvrzují Calvinovo vypravěčské mistrovství

Kosmické grotesky vznikaly v šedesátých letech 20. století a Italo Calvino jimi definitivně opouštěl klasické vyprávěcí postupy, neboť patřil k autorům, kteří neustále propátrávají nové cesty. Výchozím materiálem těchto povídek tentokrát nebyly lidské příběhy, nýbrž astrofyzikální a matematické teorie o vzniku vesmíru, fyzikální či genetické objevy a také filozofické spekulace. To vše nám zprostředkovává proteovský vypravěč jménem Qfwfq, jenž je - ve svých nekonečných proměnách - obrazem samotného vesmíru. Qfwfq je nejprve soustředěn v bodu, z něhož v důsledku velkého třesku vznikne kosmos, posléze koluje vesmírem jako shluk atomů, je minerálem, podílí se na vývoji druhů, v jisté fázi je mimo jiné i dinosaurem. Rozpomíná se na miliardy let trvající historii světa a to, co si vybavuje, je velmi mnohotvárné a také nanejvýš podivuhodné… Předkládaný nový český překlad poprvé přináší kompletní vydání těchto kosmikomických příběhů.

''Words connect the visible track to the invisible thing ... like a fragile makeshift bridge cast across the void''With imagination and wit, Italo Calvino sought to define the virtues of the great literature of the past in order to shape the values of the future. His effervescent last works, left unfinished at his death, were the Charles Eliot Norton lectures, which he was due to deliver at Harvard in 1985-86. These surviving drafts explore the literary concepts closest to his heart: Lightness, Quickness, Multiplicity, Exactitude and Visibility (Constancy was to be the sixth), in serious yet playful essays that reveal his debt to the comic strip and the folktale. This collection, now in a fluent and supple new translation, is a brilliant précis of a great writer whose legacy will endure through the millennium he addressed.Translated by Geoffrey Brock ''The book I give most to people is Six Memos for the Next Millennium'' Ali Smith''Wonderful . . . full of wit and erudition'' Daily Telegraph

Román Když jedné zimní noci cestující je rafinovaným beletristickým dílem, je to "kniha o knihách", i o sobě samé. Kombinují se zde dvě narativní linky - tou první je příběh Čtenáře a Čtenářky, druhou tvoří úvodní kapitoly deseti románů, které se mezi sebou rozmanitými způsoby proplétají, a tím vyvolávají napětí a neustále živí čtenářovu zvědavost. Calvinovi se tak do struktury jednoho románu podařilo zakomponovat fragmenty různých prozaických žánrů, které napodobuje a paroduje. Četba této neobvyklé knihy vyvolává otázky po vztahu "psaného" a "nepsaného", literatury a skutečnosti či autora a čtenáře, ale zároveň se stává zábavným literárním dobrodružstvím.

Everyone dies, it’s the one certainty in life. Whilst burials have been taking place for thousands of years, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw the start of the gravestone boom as public graveyards became commonplace and personalised gravestones became more financially viable. The information provided on gravestones and monuments make them a valuable primary source for anyone wanting to trace their family history. They can provide details that are not available in the official records, holding clues to break down brick walls, but also work hand in hand with original records and documents. Taking an in depth look at what our ancestors left behind on their gravestones and monuments, Amanda Leedham advises the reader how to record this information, and explores how it can aid family research and paint a picture of our ancestors' lives.

An extraordinary exploration of the ancestry of Britain through seven burial sites. By using new advances in genetics and taking us through important archaeological discoveries, Professor Alice Roberts helps us better understand life today.‘This is a terrific, timely and transporting book - taking us heart, body and mind beyond history, to the fascinating truth of the prehistoric past and the present’ Bettany Hughes We often think of Britain springing from nowhere with the arrival of the Romans. But in Ancestors, pre-eminent archaeologist, broadcaster and academic Professor Alice Roberts explores what we can learn about the very earliest Britons, from burial sites and by using new technology to analyse ancient DNA. Told through seven fascinating burial sites, this groundbreaking prehistory of Britain teaches us more about ourselves and our history: how people came and went and how we came to be on this island. It explores forgotten journeys and memories of migrations long ago, written into genes and preserved in the ground for thousands of years. This is a book about belonging: about walking in ancient places, in the footsteps of the ancestors. It explores our interconnected global ancestry, and the human experience that binds us all together. It’s about reaching ... Unknown localization key: "more"

We all have Nonconformist ancestors. In the mid-nineteenth century almost half of the English population were Nonconformists. And there were very few villages where there was not at least one Nonconformist chapel. Local and family historians need to be aware of the diversity of Nonconformity, and of the many sources which will enable them to trace the activities of Nonconformist forebears.Stuart Raymond''s handbook provides an overview of those sources. He identifies the numerous websites, libraries and archives that local and family historians need to consult. These are described in detail, their strengths and weaknesses are pointed out, and the contribution currently made by the internet is highlighted.Most Nonconformist denominations are discussed – not just the mainstream Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Quakers and Methodists, but also obscure sects such as the Muggletonians and Glasites, and even the two groups who regularly appear on our doorsteps today – Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Mormons.The religious activities of our Nonconformist ancestors tell us a great deal about them, and provide fascinating insights into their lives.

Little wonder that Abruzzo is Italy''s second most popular skiing centre bar the Alps and that it offers some the country''s finest hiking and wildlife-watching opportunities. Moreover, according to the ''I Borghi Più Belli d''Italia'' (''Italy''s most beautiful towns'') programme, Abruzzo has 25 such locations, second only to Umbria.What makes the Abruzzo region remarkable is that, despite being so close to Rome, it is still about as unique and authentic an Italian experience as you can get in a country so devoured by international tourism.

Scattered throughout Western Europe are the enigmatic monumental remains of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. The most famous of these is undoubtedly Stonehenge in the south of England, however, thousands of burial cairns, stone circles, standing stones and rock carvings are found in other parts of the British Isles. For the past 30 years I have been surveying these monuments in Scotland to try and understand what their solar and lunar orientations might have meant in the beliefs of our ancient ancestors.

In this enlightening personal account, one man tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep in former slave dwellings—revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America. Since founding the Slave Dwelling Project project in 2010, historic preservationist Joseph McGill Jr. has been touring the country, spending the night in former slave dwellings—throughout the South, but also the North and the West, where people are often surprised to learn that such structures exist. Sleeping with the Ancestors focuses on all of the key sites McGill has visited in his ongoing project and digs deeper into the actual history of each location, using McGill’s own experience and conversations with the community to enhance those original stories. Together, McGill and coauthor Herb Frazier give readers an important emersion into the history of slavery, and especially the obscured and ignored aspects of that history. Contains a new afterword and reading group guide.
